Mod 2: Land Use/Land Cover and Ground Truthing

This week we went all the way to Pascagoula, Mississippi in a aerial photo of course for a exercise in Land Use and Land Cover to a Level II classification. In the map above you can see the different uses and covers in polygons, and then randomly choses points to test out my interpretation. With a accuracy of 90%, I'd say I am pretty good at seeing features for what they truly are. With a few changes over time in the town, a little error is to be expected. Things are going well in class so far.
